Hi All,
Getting a lot of calls and emails about Abby and her safety in light of the massive earthquake in Chile. She is well and has not experienced anything out of the ordinary. Her current position is 16 19S and 123 26W heading south at 6.5-7 knots. Winds are light out of the NE.
The ocean depth is so great where she is there is very little chance that she will experience even an unusual swell. The effects of a Tsunami are felt when the wave action reaches shallow coastal waters. In fact being near the Southern California coast, we may be in more danger than her!
It was a bit alarming waking up to concerned calls from the Coast Guard but we do appreciate all of your concerns. Abby will blog later on today and will be checking in more frequently today in light of the situation.
Our prayers are with those who have been effected by this catastrophic earthquake in Chile.
Team Abby

thank you so much for telling us our little girl is ok
ReplyDeleteAwesome...thank you so much for the good report on Abby! Praying for those who have been and may be impacted.

Thanks for the up date, Your right in that deep of water you probably wouldn't notice any change in swell size. Pray for the areas that may be in its path.(the islands in the pacific) Sail on Abby.
ReplyDeleteWell that's great news. Abby may be physically alone, but it seems like she has the whole world watching her back!
ReplyDeleteGreat news!
ReplyDeletethank
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear she's not in any danger. As soon as I saw the map of the earthquake I immediately thought of Abby and jumped to this site to see if there was any news on what the situation is.
ReplyDeleteIt's been very interesting following Abby's journey. I wish her and Team Abby all the best and am keeping her in my prayers.
Thanks for the update! Godspeed Abby!
ReplyDelete-BB
Thank God, we have all been very worried.
ReplyDeleteThanks god and continuing prayers go out to Abby and her awesome team.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought but good to know for sure. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear she's in good shape!
ReplyDeleteI thought of Abby immediately upon hearing of the earthquake...said a prayer for her safety. Thank you Team for the update. Be safe.

We wish Abby all the best. Thank you so much for this update.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! Am a fellow female solo sailor & been blogging,etc since 8AM EST trying to get info on Abby. Was afraid a major broadside swell would turtle her while sleeping and although her boat is prepared for that, would be terrifying... THANK GOD!
ReplyDeleteTo Abby and Abby's Team,
ReplyDeleteThank the Good Lord Abby is o.k. This was very scary when I learned of it and realized she is right there in the path of a potential tsunami. But like everyone is saying, she is o.k. and she probably won't feel much, it's those on shore that will, which of course is not good, hopefully those in the way won't get anything but a little wave. I have family in California too, and I will pray for all those who have the potential to be in harm's way and for those who have been affected by this horrible quake and its aftershocks. But anyway, Thank God Abby is alright and just sailing along. I'll be looking for updates.
Take Care and God Bless,

ReplyDeleteTeam Abby, thank you for the up-date, glad to see that all is well. Yes I imagine getting woke up by the concerned Coast Guard would tend to alarm you. Thanks again.
Michael (75) from Kingwood, WV
Thanks be to God. She was the first one I thought of when I heard of the tsunami warning.
ReplyDeletePHEW!!!!!!!!!!!! I know someone in HI is dealing w/the siren that has gone off at 6am(their time)...Hope Abby is out of harm's way...
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for the people of Chile and all the areas that could be affected by the possible tsunami.
ReplyDeleteWe thank God He has answered our prayers concerning Abby.

Bonjour Team Abby,
ReplyDeleteOK, thanks.
Thank you so much for the update. I was very concern aftar waking up to the news of the earthquake in Chile. I was so glad to hear that Abby is fine. My heart goes out to the people of Chile and my prayers and thoughts will be with them and Abby. Gail/Ventura
ReplyDeleteAfter the people of Chile, I thought about Abby and have been concerned all morning. Thank you for the update, I'm glad that she is well. My prayers are with the Chilean people.
ReplyDeleteThanks Team Abby - I have been concerned as well. Will check later for updates from Abby.
ReplyDeleteWell.. as far as Captain Abby is out from the land.. the MOST that Wild Eyes would feel would be just a small 1 - 3 meter wave... which compared to the waves that are storm driven are pretty small. If you listen really carefully as the wave passes by and you are down in the cabin.. you MAY hear the vibration of the quake as the energy passes by. Reports from sailors in Pago-Pago that were in their boats just before the tsunami reported hearing a deep rumbling from the sides of the boat.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Abby.. keep your ears open... let us know what you hear.
As always... Sail Safe.. Post Often and have FUN

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the news on Abby's safety.

thanks for the up-date
ReplyDeleteTeam Abby: Thank you for letting us know that Abby is OK. I immediately thought of her when I heard the news of that giant quake. Appreciate you keeping us updated....we are like a giant family of parents out here needing to hear news of 'our' Abby. Looking forward to further updates.
ReplyDeleteAbby, you're always in my prayers.
Blessings,
Janell in Oklahoma, USA
amazing but Abby was the first person I thought of when I heard of the earthquake and it's location. So glad to hear all is well.
ReplyDeleteTeam Abby,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for that info. One of my first thoughts when I heard the news of the earthquake was Abby. I was confident that she would notice little or no difference in the height of the swells but I wondered if she would detect any difference in current. In my area, there is a tsunami advisory which says that there may be strong currents and tidal surges in the coastal areas, but no damaging conditions. Thanks for putting our concerns at ease, team Abby.

Team Abby, sail on, smooth seas and fair winds!
ReplyDeleteaisling
A tsunami is a shock wave moving through the water at a very high rate of speed. Perhaps up to 500 mph. The only time it will be felt is when the bottom comes up near shore. It is highly unlikley that vessels at sea would even know it has come and gone.
ReplyDeleteCape Horn is the challenge ahead...not this tsunami.
That is a great relief to know - thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you Team Abby,
ReplyDeleteThat is good news, we are expecting it to hit the SE coast of Queensland around 8.00am today Sunday

Would have thanked you folks sooner for getting us an "all clear" but I was busy rinsing out a few things...
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just learnt about the earthquake and the tsunami, and my first reaction was to come here. I am relieved. It is lucky it would not happen some time later... the stop in Cabo was a good thing!
ReplyDeleteThank so much for your quick update! I was certainly looking at my chart and wondering. Glad all is well. That boat is definitely making good time. Wishing her fair winds...

I've been following Abby and the first thing I did after hearing about Chile....was to check her blog. My prayers are also with anyone who is affected by the earthquake. Take care Abby!!
ReplyDeleteAbby's spirit of adventure is a marvel and an inspiration! Thank God she's got a great team behind her. Terrific news that Abby's okay!!

Whew!

To Abby: I was up at the time of the earthquake in Chili and was watching it on CNN. I called the Coast Guard and they ask me your location. I told them to go to your website. So the Coast guard person on the phone with me, got on-line, and I told him to click on "Where's Abby". He did this and he could see you might in danger. He then said he would do something called a ship to ship message transfer, and try to give you a warning about possible large wave action and get ready.
ReplyDeleteAbby; I'm just glad I was up at that hour and maybe I could help. It sounds like the Coast Guard came threw. I guess there ship to ship message got threw. I have to admit, I was really afraid for you, But I was so-so glad to turn on my computer and here you were OK. There is a God!!!!!!!! I've been up since 3:00; now I can go back to my rack.
Abby:You really had me worried there for awhile so be careful, and like I always say; Stay tied off, you never know when you'll be hit by a rough wave.
Woodrow Wilson, from San Diego, Ca
Wow! To Abby's Mom and Dad, I'm sure you know how many people are praying for your little girl. One of the first things I thought of was,"Pray for Abby". I will continue to pray that God protects her travels. Isaiah 6:3 Thou will keep thee in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee".
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear. Thank you for the update. The second I heard about the earthquake I thought of Abby. Glad she is ok. Always in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear!!
ReplyDeletethanx for the update...after reading about the 1960 devastation from an 8.6 earthquake and tsunami we will all feel better when this passes uneventfully. (I hope)...zeke roseville, ca
ReplyDeleteTeam Abby
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update
glad Abby is OK.
All the Best
My husband used earthquake, tsunami and Pacific Ocean all in one sentence and I just thought, OMG! Abby! I'm comforted to read 'Mom's' blog stating that you may not even notice much out there.
ReplyDeleteSail on safely!
Namaste~~
Team Abby - Thanks for the update -
ReplyDeleteand the lat / long data. We were very concerned for Abby. There will be the usual massive after shocks but it sounds like she is well clear of that.
I sent my guardian angel to look out for Abby.
you go girl stay safe coronado san diego ca
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts are always with Abby, now our thoughts will also be with Chile and anyone affected by this Quake.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to update us. There are a lot of us out here keeping Abby in our prayers. So glad she's ok.
ReplyDeletesearched and wondered how i could find risks to abby and wild eyes......should have known....team abby on the ball with details regarding her position and safety.....reassured, thanks
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this update on Abby's safety in light of the quake. Very much appreciated!!
ReplyDeleteI also immediately thought of Abby but knew she'd be safe experiencing only a swell. My thoughts are with the affected people of Chile and hope shore people around the Pacific hear of the tsunami warnings and evacuate in time.
ReplyDelete8.8 magnitude is huge, ranked 7th of all recorded quakes. The greatest recorded magnitude ever was also in Chile in 1960. It was 9.5. The 1964 Alaskan quake was 9.2. North and South American subduction faults produce the greatest magnitudes on earth, greater than the San Andreas fault of California. Eventually the area where I live on the northern Washington coast will also experience a huge quake like it did in 1700. That was a magnitude 9.0 and the tsunami was recorded in Japan.
Thanks for the update... Even though the expectation would be she would not see an impact from a Tsunami out in the open ocean, as a parent, I am sure there is much comfort in actually talking to her and knowing she is doing well. So glad you quickly passed this information along.
ReplyDeleteI have family in Hawaii so praying there is minimal impact there as well.
Continuing to pray...
God Bless

ReplyDeleteGood, good!
ReplyDeleteNow I can get my day started! Anxiety over Abby's safety had me hoping for an update. Thanks!We are much relieved! Beverly from Clarksville, Maryland
ReplyDeleteThank God that you are not in harm's way from the tsunami threat! Thanks also to your well wisher "Woodrow Wilson" who phoned the Coast Guard immediately so that they could warn you directly. My prayers are to the people of Chile who have been affected by the giant 8.8 earthquake and also with you for a safe voyage.
ReplyDeleteSwift winds and fair currents as you attempt to join the ranks of historic navigators like Magellan in circumnavigating the globe by sea.
I am new to this blog, and blogging all together..you must be a brave soul to be where you are..hats off and hopefully all goes well
ReplyDeleteVery Good news that she is safe!!! Thank you for letting us know her where abouts and safety. Of course still keeping her in our prayers!!! (as usual)
ReplyDeleteStay WELL and my God keep holding you safely in His hands.
All of our love,

So thankful Abby is well and safe! Thanks for updating us who are worrying...God speed...Go Abby Go!
ReplyDeleteGreat News, Stay Well Abby.
ReplyDeleteThe sentiments and concern for Abby expressed here are amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou silly gits! Doesn't everyone know by now, after all the tsunamis and earthquakes we've witnessed in the past decade, that the safest place to be is out at sea (or on high ground?) Why would you even imagine that Abby was in danger?!! The Coast Guard should absolutely know better!
ReplyDeleteSoo glad about these good news!
ReplyDeleteIn the dizziness of awakening I heard about the Tsunami in the morning news. And since I have my global wall map with Abby's route next to my bed, my first thought was: Is she okay??
Keep going Abby and please stay safe!

Thanks for the great update. Abby has been on my mind all day and was very concerned about her safety and the fact that she was aware of a potential danger.
ReplyDeletegreat news.Be safe little lady,we love you.
ReplyDeleteHello Abby,
ReplyDeleteglad that you are safe and I hope, that the impact on the people of Chile is minimal.

I know in my heart your trip will be completed safely. You are John Glen of the sea.This morning the Good Lord,s comp. crashed from all the prayers. You are truly blessed.GOD SPEED
ReplyDeleteI actually learned of this earthquake from Minoru Saito's website. He, too, is soloing around as the oldest to do so, but the last several months have been ridiculously difficult for him. He has been in harbor in Valdivia, Chile, which is only 265 miles due south of the epicenter. So far, his team has not updated us whether he is safe or not. After all he's been through, an earthquake is the last thing he needs! Here is his team's posting:

Bonjour Abby & Wild Eyes,
ReplyDeleteKnow what? Laura Dekker has just bought a Jeanneau Gin Fizz Ketch and she mentions you and Jessica in her last post on her web page.
Take care, Be safe
Thank for the update. She was the first person I thought about when I heard about the Tsunami warning.
ReplyDeleteHope you all stay safe also in Southern California.
HELLO TO ABBY AND TEAM - Thank you for you up-date on Abby's safety. One of my first thoughts this morning was concern and hope all would be fine.
ReplyDeleteI live in Picton, Marlborough Sounds and we are all a little bit tense at the moment. Our main channel to the North Island is closed, and all are warned against going out in the their boats until further notice. I am sure there will not be too much to worry about though.
Take care, Abby and I will write again later.
Lynne (Picton, NZ.)
I INSTANTLY thought of Abby and her location when they stated Tsunami's are heading for Hawaii... Thank GOD she is not in harms way!! Abby, you are a VERY courageous young lady, and I wish you success in your quest!
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes,

Now I know how to follow Abby's journey...she's the first one I thought of when learning of the quake...so I'll be cheering her on through this site. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteLike so many others here I have been worried about Abby so I am relieved to hear that all is well...
ReplyDeletePray for the families affected by the earthquake and hope that the tsunami does not wreck havoc...
Thank you for posting this and setting our minds at ease. When I heard the news, my first thought was of Abby. So glad she's ok.
ReplyDeleteThere's a DART buoy @ 8.489 S 125.006 W just North of Abby's position showing what it recorded.
ReplyDeleteMinor fluctuation out there:
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=51406
Just a rolling swell out there, though on the map Abby's pretty close to Pitcairn to the South, which I don't think even has any beaches, and a seamount equally close to her East (no idea it's height).
Shouldn't be a problem but would be interesting indeed to learn if she sensed, felt or saw anything related.
Are you sure of the 123W number? Sounds awfully far west to be heading for the cape.
ReplyDeleteBeen a long time she posted last time....... i wonder if she is still okay......anyone know...i have never been on her blog. I too am a mom of a girl her age and Abby was in my near immediate thoughts this morning upon learning about the possible conditiions she faces. I dont have a world atlas to track where she is so I am concerned. Can anyone please leave a message on here to let me know if she is still okay or not...That little girl has been on my mind since i first heard about her journey many months ago.......tough lil she is......makes for a strong woman!
ReplyDeleteThanks
Thank you much for the update regarding our little girl abby in the ocean. Glad to hear she is safe.
ReplyDeleteOur prayers to all that got affected by the massive earthquake in Chile.

Thanks for the update. 1st heard about the earthquake at 12:01 Am and went to "where is Abby" right away. I figured that she is probably close to Peru or Ecuador and might be in danger. That is why I sent e-mail to Team Abby.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for the update again!
Godspeed Abby!

ReplyDeleteHelp, Bob
It seems the largest wave behind you so far is the wave of collective consciousness. You are bringing many of us together, all focused on you, your whereabouts, and Team Abby's constant vigilence. No matter where you are, there He (and we) are, too. Hugs, Abby! Stay alert and fastened on...waiting to hear from you (with prayers for those hit by the quake and its aftermath. (Did you feel/hear anything?) Any more flying fish? Anticipating word from you soon...
ReplyDeleteI am so glad she is ok, I have been reading her blog since she left, and i am happy that is so fine. peace be with her and her family
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to hear that everything is O.K. for Abby. Thank you for your update.
ReplyDeleteRegards,

Awesome, glad to hear you are doing fine. One of my first thoughts when I heard about the tsunami was of you and your journey. Glad you are in deep water!
ReplyDeleteAbby,
ReplyDeleteNow you can add riding over the top of a tsunami to your book of memories! Stay safe!!

My friend Artie was circumnavigating in 2005 (?) when the big tsunami happened in Indonesia. At the time, he had already passed through those waters and was in Capetown, South Africa. He told me the boat rose and fell 6 feet in about a minute.
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction on hearing about earthquake and tsunami was "where is Abby and Wild Eyes....so glad you are ok Abby. Thoughts and prayers are with you on your journey and same to the people of Chile...From Fairview Heights, Illinois
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your post about Abby's safety. Commonsense told me she would be ok but I admit I was still a little worried!
ReplyDeletePraise our wonderful lord that Abby is safe and that the casualty count seems to be low in Chile too!
Many prayers are being sent up and will continue to be, from around the world for the victims of this latest upheaval of our earth. We mustn't forget to continue to pray also for the Haiti people.
Perhaps this little blog site of Abby's can become a focus and a beacon of light for all of us who believe in a loving God, to express our trust and confidence in Him as we interceed together.
God Bless Abby and your Mum & Dad and family.

Whew! Thanks for the prompt update. I was out shopping when I heard about the earthquake, and knew Abby was nearly parallel to Chile. I couldn't wait to get home and see if there was a post. Glad it shouldn't affect her, and sad for those who are affected.
ReplyDelete@45° 31′ 0.02″ N, 73° 39′ 0.02″ W ... Never mind, I found it Dutch. If I could only translate.........
ReplyDeleteYea I too thought about Abby. But then I realized that she is probably safer out there then anywhere else in the pacific. It will be interesting to see what she experiences if anything. Jaime

ReplyDeletewow, what a wonderful girl!! You should be so proud of her as parents. she is very brave and sailing like that is hard to do at any age, let alone 16. I will pray she reaches her home safely. God speed Abby!
ReplyDeleteGood news that Abby is out of any danger from the Tsunami caused by the Chilean earthquake ~ but how sad for all those people who are now homeless and those who have lost loved ones. Our thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteTo abby and parents and team

ReplyDeleteI heard about earthquake in Chile while driving to work this morning. Tsunami and Abby were the first thoughts to cross my mind. I'm glad she's safe. God Speed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update team Abby !!!
ReplyDeleteFair winds and smooth sailing Abby
God Bless

Abby, No doubt you and Jessica. You are undertaking challenges way beyond your years. How did you treat yourself upon crossing the Equator? Jessica threw a bucket of water over herself. The tsumani shouldn't worry you that much and we trust all will be plain sailing. May the sea God be with you. Beat regards from Mike and Rosalyn in Warwick Qld, Australia.
ReplyDeleteMy first thoughts, after hearing about the quake, were with Abby and Wild Eyes. Glad all is well..... Keep on keepin' on...
ReplyDeleteHi Abby,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you will not expect anything out of the ordinary.
I hope everyone in their haste who "rushed to their computers to check on Abby" have also given a thought to the hundreds who have lost their lives, to the thousands who have lost loved ones, to the tens of thousands who have lost possessions and to the millions who lives will be affected!
Josie
WOW! What are the odds of her boat being right smack in the path of a tsunami heading westward from Chile generated from an 8.8 earthquake? An 8.8 !! that is unheard of. Look at her on the map...she is centered exactly where this monstrous force passed under her. If there was any land near where she was it would have been completely wiped out. Thankfully she was in very deep water so it is harmless to her and her boat. I can't wait to hear if Abby felt anything as it passed under her
ReplyDeleteThis could be an omen...be careful Abby, double check everything and thanks to Team Abby for the update
God Bless Abby, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sara C.
ReplyDeleteGreat news to hear Abby and Wild Eyes should be OK. We have been following your and Jesica's voyage since setting sail. Our friends are encouraged to log in as well as we find your blogs quite interesting. May the sea God keep you safe for the rest of your journey.
ReplyDeleteWell done Abby and Wild Eyes. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, you think there is any chance this is why you had a ton of flying fish on deck the other day? I've heard some creatures are more "in tune" with the Earths condition. Anyway- Prayers to you and the people of Chilie.
ReplyDeleteHi Captain Abby,
ReplyDeleteI am an old salt from way back but my kids reckon I am computer illiterate. I was beginning to believe them because I couldn't get a blog through to you so today I will try under Anonymous. BTW can anyone tell me what URL means?
I have been following Jesse from Day 1 an would like to do the same with you. Every bit of added goodwill pushing you must help.
I have been a blue water sailor in my younger days but no way would I ever go solo. So brave girl safe sailing and Godspeed

Thank you for the coordinates. For anyone following with google earth it makes it much more interesting when we can make a plot with a stick pin and see the weather overlay. very cool.
ReplyDeleteHola Abby
ReplyDeleteEstoy complacido de que te encuentres bién. Se requiere de mucho valor y coraje para esta meta que te has propuesto. Te deseo lo mejor.

Man! Am so glad you and Eyes are ok and haven't experienced anything bad due to the earthquake. First post for me but we (wife and I) follow your blogs and pix daily. We also pray for your safety and hope you experience nothing but good on this great adventure!
ReplyDelete@Bloggers. Maybe avoid calling Abby "little girl". Jessica wrote in a blog recently that she hated being labeled as a "little girl", at least if that involved competence.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you Abby think about this term, but I assume you prefer being labeled as experienced sailor. I did not like being called "little boy" when I was young.
